I'm not saying I'll never go solo - never is a long time - but I've always been onstage with someone else. That way, you're in it together, and you can feel, together, when the songs are right. Alison Mosshart feelhavelong Change image and share on social
Painting is almost like a sport. It's like this action thing. When I do it, I'm really not thinking. The paintings are like a diary that I might not want to read again. Alison Mosshart actiondiarypaint Change image and share on social
I actually got into music because of art and because of skateboarding: All those graphics and punk bands and fanzines - they were glued together in my brain. Alison Mosshart artbandbrain Change image and share on social
I can't talk on the radio at all. When the red light comes on, my hands go up in the air: I think they're trying to get to my face, to shut me up. I don't talk on stage for the same reason. Alison Mosshart airfacehand Change image and share on social
All of my art is suitcase-sized. I always paint in mediums that dry pretty quickly because I've got to throw them in my suitcase and go. And I have so much because of that, because it's what I've always done to pass the time, and I like it. Alison Mosshart arthavemedium share on social
It's fun and super exciting to see how other people work, how other people write music, and how other people put things together. To me, it's an endless learning process, and I love doing it because everybody works so completely differently. Alison Mosshart completelydifferentlyendless share on social

When you're recording in the midst of touring, you get a different sense about you. Things are more rocking, darker, heavier and louder. You're thinking about the audience that you're seeing every night. Alison Mosshart audiencedarkheavy share on social
I love being on stage more than anything, and I think that's what comes across. I think the most honest representation of any music is to play it right there in front of people. It's a moment - it's all one of a kind, every little part of it. There's no repeat. Alison Mosshart fronthonestkind share on social
